Aisha Abdulrahman, a one-year-old girl, was admitted with severe ileo-ileo-colic intussusception after four days of worsening symptoms. She was immediately resuscitated and prepared for emergency surgery. An exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anaesthesia. During surgery, the ileum, terminal ileum, caecum, and appendix were found trapped within the ascending colon. About 24 cm of bowel was gangrenous with multiple perforations. The affected bowel was resected, and Aisha received 200 ml of blood transfusion during the operation. She was initially stable after surgery and placed under close monitoring and supportive care. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated the following day. Despite continued treatment and repeated attempts at resuscita…

Aisha is being evaluated for Intestinal Obstruction and intussusception, she will benefit emergency exploratory laparotomy with resection and anastomosis. Left untreated, this intussusception rapidly cuts off blood supply to the trapped bowel, leading to tissue necrosis, intestinal perforation, sepsis, renal failure, life-threatening peritonitis, profound hypovolemic shock, and death. Prognosis - Good prognosis with early intervention, however late intervention will worsen prognosis as trapped bowel could perforate or become gangrenous leading to sepsis, dehydration with risk of severe end organ damage.
